18 Weeks (6/6/2013- pic taken a few days late)
How far along? 18 Weeks
Maternity clothes? Mixing maternity and non-maternity.
Sleep? Pretty good, starting to get a little
uncomfortable to roll over and feel bad b/c I’m taking up all the room with my
pillows around me everywhere. Getting up a few times in the night to go potty.
Best moment in the
last 3 weeks? Dr apt on Monday
(171/2 weeks) went great. Heartbeat was at 156 and we tentatively scheduled my
c-section for Nov. 1. Oct 31 would be truly 39 weeks but I didn’t think we
wanted the baby to share a bday with Halloween if we could choose, plus the 1st
is on a Friday and might be easier for family. The upsides to a cesarean!
Miss anything? Not sure, starting to be able to enjoy this
pregnancy. Maybe being able to wear my jeans?
Movement? Yes, movement is becoming a little more
regular. So amazing and fun to feel.
Food cravings? Just read a blog today and she made chocolate
covered strawberries- going to the store after work to get some! ;)
Anything making you
queasy/sick? Blowing my nose still
gets me, and for some reason whenever I cough in the morning it always gags me.
Gender? Sono is scheduled for next Friday the 14th!
Let’s hope this little guy or girl shows us the goods! I’m saying boy, Joe and
Aspen both say girl.
Labor Signs? Nope- tentatively scheduled for the 1st
of November.
Symptoms? Not really too much, I’ve been feeling pretty good these last couple weeks! Just the regular tiredness and achy. Oh and my hips pop all the time now.

Belly button in or
out? In and getting flatter.
Wedding rings on or
off? On- hoping to get to
leave them on the whole time this time as well, but we’ll see.
Happy or moody? Happy!
Looking forward to? *Aspen’s big girl room is
almost ready for me to start decorating! Joe is putting the second coat of
paint on tonight and the frame back up on the window tomorrow so this weekend
I’ll be organizing and decorating to my hearts content!
* seeing this little guy or girl again next Friday on
sonogram and hopefully finding out whether we’re having a girl or boy!
*Chicago trip with the girls in a few weeks!
Daddy moment? Seeing him paint our
little girls room pink just b/c he knows she will love it. Also now that I can
feel the baby moving when he gets right up to my belly and talks loudly, the
baby will start moving around enough to make me laugh.
Big Sister moment?
Aspen has done awesome starting her new preschool! When I picked her up one
day last week, one of the little girls asked me if I had Aspen’s sister in my
belly. I told her we weren’t sure if the baby was a boy or girl yet and she
said “Aspen says it’s her sister Minnie”. Haha I was excited about the fact
that she was talking about it at preschool and bragging to her friends about
being a big sister soon! J
